Stress, Angry, Exhausted, HorribleIt has been practically raining for the whole day. I thought Jan isn't suppose to have rainy seasons (past few days also had rain)? Rain has the good and the bad. Good weather to sleep in. Bad because my bag got wet (the umbrella didn't help much) :-/
Lessons had been fine. Except for math, urm, the teacher speaks quite softly even though I can hear her. But well, there will be a new timetable and banding for math next week (i think) so we'll have to wait for the results.
& hcl today was horrid. Literally horrible! Urghh. The new chapter is quite difficult to understand with all the personification words and the content. Whatsmore, there was a total of 4 periods of hcl today! And during the last 2 periods, we had to do a compo relating to what we had learnt in the previous 2 lessons of the day. I was just practically strugging on how to describe my apple tree and how it can relate to our lives. Jin Le had been my LIVE chinese dictionary, which no doubt helped me a lot in the speed of my writing. Yup, so many thanks to her.
Oh oh, and SRM LS, got angry today. Actually she got angry for the right reason, I support and agree w her. Students are late for about 10 mins and yet they are streaming in (no sense of urgency), next no manner/courtesy to greet her, and they just went to their seats and continued chatting and chatting. Really, just reflect upon your behaviours and manners. What is this? Plus the matter of fact that they are hcl students. Singaporeans really have to learn to be more courteous and mindful of their behaviours and attitude towards things.

There was guzheng later in the afternoon (dashed there straight after my screwed-up compo) It went pretty fine. Lao Shi repeated himself the importance of selecting the best of the best for SYF and we've got to work hard (technically, attendance & attitude). No sweat, no gain. Yup ;-D
Halfway through, I went to help Zenia w percussion. The four of us taught Pearlyn, Dora & Xiao Wei some basic techniques. Mr Yeo is going to come down soon to teach them. Come to think of that, I can still remember last year when Mr Yeo came to teach us. Now, it seems so fast, it's already the next batch.
The time spent w my class this week had been quite "interesting". I don't know if it's really that hard to volunteer yourself to be a subject monitress. I can see that Ms Ferng is really being very very extremely patient w us when it comes to the selections of monitress(es) and other administrative issues. Of course, she works by the book. Fair and just :) & I just feel that the cliquish thing in my class is really very strong. It somehow, prevents others to join. And honestly speaking, I'm feeling really funny, lousy of myself. Everything seems to have disappeared. I don't know why. I feel alone being the only prefect.
And there was photo-taking (passport photo) today and while I was asking them to settle down according to their register numbers, it's just plain bad. Some listen but most of them just heck care kind of attitude. Like later la, that kind of thing. I was trying so hard to settle them down, to get them ready so that we won't be held up and the photographer will not be angry or anything (cos normally photographers will want everything done quick, that's what i think) and the monitress(es) weren't even there to aid me. I guess Hui Shan did a little, but it didn't do much. Sigh.
Before taking the photo, I was already feeling angry inside. After taking, it became worse. (1) I caught 2 girls eating and bringing sandwiches into the Parade Square. Wel, I ran after them telling them the usual things, they didn't heed my advice. Hence, I went t the canteen to look for a teacher and just nice Ms Poon just got her food and I told her about the 2 girls. She went up to them and ok, they have been taught a lesson.
(2) Charlotte's group didn't want to go back to class for lesson. I asked them why, and they did not give me a definite answer so I told them that if they don't go back to lesson it will be counted as truancy. I was really boiling inside at that point of time, in the verge of tears too. After warning them, I just left. I really really couldn't care anymore because I can't afford myself being late for lesson.
Official start of LessonsI'm still trying to get use to the moving around thing. Well, pretty alright I guess. We have 2 breaks everyday. Hmm, but the whole schedule gets push back, so actually it's not much of a difference.
Anw, during second break I was running all over the school w my backpack on my back. (hahaha! when the cold wind blow...) I was looking for 2 sec 2 girls because the sec 2 rep didn't manage to contact them yesterday and this morning Gracey wacey told them there wasn't gz. When I heard that, I wanted to "faint". I hurriedly went to find ways to how I can get them. Thankfully w Doreen everything was done! ;-D
From next week onwards, I have to be around in every gz practice. Mmmm, a good chance to pick up new things from my seniors ;-) Even if this means I have to make some adjustments to my schedule like Amath tuition to Wed and piano to some other day, I think everything is worth it. Got to work hard, play hard, enjoy myself as much as I can in sec 3, hopefully come out more from my comfort zone this year. Wait, I think I came out of my comfort zone during the advertisement for Talent-night for Sec 1 o. I was some kind of nerd/auntie, speaking in a short-tongue manner, pulling my pants high, tucking my shirt in & with this no-colour-sense spec. Haha. That was a pretty good one, I felt. (I don't know how I look then, LOL!) ;-D
Just chatted w Da-jie over at MSN. I was feeling quite helpless, lousy awhile ago about myself because of some self-psychology thinking, keep on thinking about the wrong side of things. This thought of some prefects (sec 3s) not liking me has been bugging me for quite some time and I told her about it. & what she said, really brought me smiles and yes, I am special. God loves me! (Cheryl keeps saying that to me). I need not really care about what others do to me, think about me because I just need to do my duty properly and to serve Him.
"some are born to acompish great things with their gifts. you dont have to change your character to become more outspoken just because the head prefect says you must do that. just stick to the status quo of how God made you to be. " (really appreciate what she said. and i must not keep thinking negatively ;-/)

Another long day tomorrow. Actually, honestly, I'm feeling quite exhausted already :-/
MAVIS's PolicyThe same incident that happened 2 weeks before, happened again this morning during Physics class. This white-shirt boy has an interesting name : Ken
Young. His surname is damn cool! K, besides his interesting surname that left many of us quizzical for a few seconds, he repeated what the indian boy did. He was actually from Sat's class, but he came today thinking that he could make up ytd's lesson. Sadly, lo and behold, Mrs Selva actually told him that he can't do that. All the things about different teachers teaching different things and she even asked this boy to leave. A bit cruel, but it's Mavis policy. So, this boy went to switch to Mrs Selva's class. In the end: happy happy lesson ;-D
There were many new faces today during Physics. & Mrs Selva was funny today. Actually it's her stories that are entertaining and funny. Life experiences too, for some of them. Anyh, there was this paleblue shirt boy name, Kenneth. Nothing interesting about him for today, except that he didn't bring his fullscap and he had heavy phelgm :-/
& Mrs Selva, she kept on saying that she felt warm. During chemistry lesson, she said the same thing also. She even asked the super tall Uncle to come in and do the air-con thing. I think practically all of us were feeling cold and there she is, happily yakking away not realising that she felt warm. Then the next moment, she said she felt warm. Everyone just gave her the O.o look. ahahahah ;-)
Many new things learnt for Physics today. Have to absorbed them. I love Chem! We finished up the worksheet today. Pretty easy, understood everything :-D I love Chem chem chem! Hooohaaa! OH OH OH, today Mrs Selva's dressing is really "Wow!". She wore her Indian traditional clothes, white (glittery glittery, ver nice!) w a red& black scarf. I like her white colour glitter glitter one. Heh :-p
Jpop songs are lovely! I enjoy them! & one of them that Soph sent to me is: Every Heart (the music for my very very first blogskin w music) I loved that song at that time, and I didn't know what it's called. And here I am today, listening to it. (sang by BoA :-))
Last day of sec one O tomorrow. And yes, going to start lessons ;-) My class, my friends! Hopefully for the O, it will be a success. Suppose to end on a high note. & games comm is going to do a short advertisement tomorrow. Hohoho, give me the courage to do it properly. My acting skills a little you know, below average. Haha. But I'll put my best foot forward tomorrow and hope that 1-4's skit will be fine.
Pimples are coming out. Ahhh! I dislike pimples. Eeeeeeekkk! Not nice :-( Mummy say is heaty, so the pimples are coming out, as a symptom. So, drink more water, drink water chestnut drink and I should be fine :-)
Week 2 of Year 2007 tomorrow.
May it be a better week for everyone else! :-)
CCA Fair 2007
I've been doing ushering at the staircase till 0845 and together w Grace we went for guzheng rehearsal. & one interesting encounter from ushering is from a parent from PSSG. She came up to me and asked me where was the Entrepreneurship club booth, and I went to get the map for her and brought her around. Sadly, it wasn't set up yet at that time so I told her to come back at a later timing, around 1015. She just want to go to the both because she wanted a piece of their poster! Haha! :-p She said that she liked their poster and she wanted to get a piece of it. So, yeah, first encounter w such a parent.
Gz rehearsal had been quite okay. & there were slightly some changes, in the end I guess we performed about 4 times and we also went down to give our brochures to get people to come up to the Hall to watch us. I guess the sign up had been pretty good (though I don't know the exact number yet). &&&, many many seniors came back today ;-D (Ailing, Lileng, Sarah Wan, Regina, Vivien, Wan Zhen, Cheryl, Audery, Edinna, Jasmine and other seniors from other batches) It's nice to see our seniors back ;-D
-
Amath--> Interesting and good (for now: indicies) It's pretty alright and I do understand most of it. Must cont working hard. Yes.
And there was this green shirt boy, who came in late and seeked Ms Chee's attention by saying "Hello". (haha!) I laughed when he said that because of the tone that he used. Later on, as the lesson progressed, he got picked to do other questions. Then I slowly began to find him irritating :-/ He gives people the impression that he is not interested, he kept on answering wrongly or asking "What question?". Ms Chee was a little pissed by him too, from her expression.
I guess I'll be changing Amath tuition to Monday & Saturday. Not really sure about Mon yet. I gotta check w Soph. Ahhh, everyone's practically having their own schedules and it's packed :-/ So most of the times, things will clash and I dislike it. Of course, I'll try my best to minimize clashes for my schedule.
OH OH OH!
I've saved $10.20 this week! Yesyesyes!
Closer to my target of $38 ( to get the earpiece for my handphone music player) YEAH :-)
School.
First day of school had been quite memorable. We had this celebration kind of thing, which is walking from PL Kadesh back to Lor Ah Soo. It's a total of 2.8km. & I took over Hui Ying's duty because she had stomach flu. 3B1 is quite a lovely class to take. Thankfully there was Charissa and some of her buddies that made things more lively and they helped me pretty much too ;-D
& the nuts and some sweet that Charissa gave was super nice! The nuts are just sooooooo Great!
:-)
The walk was long and tiring. I was perspiring like a running tap. Serious, no joke please. My perspiration was continuous, until we reached Lor Ah Soo and after everyone settled down, then it became better. Oh oh, thinking of lunch yesterday, smtg quite embarrassing + funny happened to me.
Here goes the embarassing incident :/
Mrs Jacob was walking around (i think looking for some extra water btles or extra food packs left around by girl) and she came to the space in between 3A3 and 3B1. Ok, and before that Charissa and her buddies asked me to kill a worm that was around. I ignored their request. So, when Mrs Jacob came, she asked me what was that (i didn't know that she was referring to the box of mineral water, i thought she was referring to the worm) so I said "It's a worm." And she went uh? I repeated myself again, thought she never hear clearly. But then when I saw what she was pointing at, omg!, that moment was damn embarassing! I just want to dig a hole and hide my head in it man. Super embarassing but also a little funny cos' I also laughed at myself. To make matters even worse, in a sense, the front girls of 3B1 laughed at me. Haha! :-p
Wednesday had been a long day. After school, I had to do up the souvenirs for CCA Fair (this sat) and halfway through, I left for Amath lesson. & piano was after Amath. Great uh. I really don't know if I should take Music as a subject. Now, I don't really intend to do it. & Mr Lee is asking me if I want to take G7 this year. Ahhhhhhh! Think about the exam, stress :-( But Mr Lee asked me to think about it, and give him the answer soon.
Oh oh, and today, Zhi Xian told me that I have a chance to take HCL. (Advantages for taking: O level, minus 2 points, learn more new words, broaden my knowledge of CL; Disadvantages: must stay back until 410pm on fri) I scared I cannot cope if I take it and somemore, I'll be taking my O level chinese paper this year if I take HCL. How? Mummy Daddy haven't come back. Sighs :-/
Ms Wong is going to be my Amath teacher! Whoooohooo! ;-D I don't know why when I mention that Ms Wong is going to be my teacher, some just gave me that oh-you'll-just-die look. I think she's a very experienced & good t-cher :-D So far, I've not really missed out on a lot. I hope hope hope that all the teachers won't do too much, if not I'll just suffer like don't know what. ahahah! :-p
K, I was pissed w the prefects who were playing at the back w the water bombs (during the Mummy game). The whole situation was so chaotic at first when the girls receive their water bombs and everyone started screaming. It was so chaotic and then slowly after the attackers got briefed everything was better. And then when the girls had to settle down, nobody from the back helped. They were just practically enjoying being bombed. What is this man. And when some of them saw me coming to the back, telling the sec ones to go back to the friend and settle down, they never even helped me at all. And I was the only one who was telling the sec ones to go and assemble and settle down. I went around, alone. No one came to help. (the class prefects were busy settling their classes too) >:( Then later, Mrs Tng came over and kinda scolded us if I put it crudely. All our behaviours and everthing. Yes, it's true that the sec ones are observing us and looking at how we behave, our attitudes etc. & today's incident, was really bad. Plus, the sec one kept on going back to the back area(full of water bombs and prefects playing) and they found it kinda nice and they just kept on staring. While me, I was asking them to go back. I really don't know what to say. Quite disappointing actually :-/
Homeroom system! (cool~) The timetable now is kinda complicated, with odd even weeks. But it's also, quite cute in a way. With a period for running (taking over ST), just for a day. Haha! And it's a 2.4km run. I think I'm going to die :-} Activate my sweat glands so early in the morning and I'll be dripping wet when I go for my first class. And the teacher will just suffer from the sour smell from everyone. How is that, I can't imagine for now. (gonna be bad, i think. ahahah!) :-p
I <3 color="#993300">Mr.Kiwi that Wan Leng gave me from New Zealand. A toy that can move when you turn it. The design of the toy is really classy, with this kiwi dressed in a suit. Nice! :-)
Beginning of a New YearThe trip to Pasir Ris Park to see fireworks was quite disappointing. There were only small small ones, at some far far away place. Nevermind about the fireworks. Instead, we had Lightsticks to replace them ;D I love lightsticks! All those luminous colours, join them together it will be a beautiful sight ;D & somehow, we came up with some see-who-can-throw-the-lightsticks-up-to-the-big-coconut-tree game. I tried and tried, but to no avail. I know my aiming skills are not good la. (giggle) But Uncle John managed to get his lightsticks up the tall tall coconut tree though. Thrice somemore. & that is our trademark for our family, I suppose. Unless unless!, some cleaners take them away. Haha :p

New year, a new beginning!
I just received a new handphone. Sony Ericsson k601i, the red model. The functions are pretty good. I've upgraded tons compared to my previous Nokia 2100. ahahah! I'm still trying to get use to the keypads, functions and everything ;)
School's starting tomorrow. & I nearly fainted when I received an sms from my friend asking which place are we suppose to assemble tomorrow morning. Omgoodness gracious me, I can just faint. I really wonder how come some people just forget about things so easily, or just don't have the effort to do things properly. During normal school days, sometimes I receive phone calls or sms(es) asking what homework do we have that day. I know sometimes, the minority of these people are just asking me to somehow double check. But the majority of them, I'm sure, they just don't bother about what assignments teachers give us. Just rely on others. It's irritating at times :( Hopefully, they will change in time to come though some of them are not going to the same class as me anymore.

School tomorow! YES! ;D
